The location of the sigs on this site has "raised the bar" for people who think that it is free billboard space. In order to get people to look at their sig, they are going to need to make posts that are relevant and show themselves to be someone who other members might be interested in getting additional information on. No more can an "I agree" reply also include the bonus of an ad for their site, or their group, or a brain-stealing link.
If someone posts for crap, then they, their posts AND their sig can be easily passed over.
That means that the sigs will go unused as most people post stupid crap like this. and even if they do post something smart thats not gonna make me wanna look at their sig and alot of other people will share my views. Besides the classifieds(which I might add hardly anyone uses) the only way you can advertise your groups is through the sig and PMing(which takes a while and you only get 1 person for every 100 you PM) now that the sig is hardly looked at you only have two other options.
Also puting something like
-BB-
at the bottom of your post shouldn't be considered offtopic and just as a sign off.
Oh yeah, more too add, Alot of some peoples sig is cut off, further incapacitating the sig.
